  • In this video I share my thoughts on the recent layoff of almost 200 workers at the Ram 1500 assembly plant in Sterling Heights and how this affects us when we're buying Ram, Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler products this year.

      They need to start listening to consumers and stop producing oversized luxury trucks…and return to trucks designed for ACTUAL utility. Build solid, reliable trucks minus the fuss and aim for a reasonable price point. If they were willing to make smaller margins on much larger volume, they’d arguably be better off than having MASSES OF $80K,$90K, $100k+ trucks sitting on the lots gathering dust.

While an I6 and generator/range extender based hybrid is, the engine is only a 3L and there's too much tech behind that hybrid that could break. The Hemi is what sold the trucks for so many years.

    Stellantis is doing everything that it can to destroy what used to be Chrysler. No one will want to buy a Ram truck with the Hurricane engine. I had a wagoneer with the Hurricane and I had nothing but problems with it. My wagoneer had engine issues from the first day. The oil sensor went out and Stellantis refused to replace the sensor. Instead, they said they would reprogram the computer and when they did that, they basically shut off every sensor in the wagoneer. And to top it all off, I found out that there is NO OIL DIP STICK to check the oil. So, when the computer says your low in oil, how can you check it to determine how much oil to add?

    One thing to realize is that the severance packages are generally not for the blue collar, union, factory workers. These severances are only offered to management and clerical workers. The reason why many of the factory workers won't quit is because many are vested employees, hired before 2007 who would still qualify to recieve a pension if they can stick it out until they qualify for retirement. I am personally in that boat. I will have 29 years next month and I am hoping to get to 30 years where I would then qualify for a full pension. God willing I should make it, but for the managers or the white collar, non-union, salary people then yes, your advice is spot on.

    I worked for a newspaper (production) my entire adult life, and luckily, retired 2 years ago. From 2008 until I finally retired, that fear of being laid off due to paper outsourcing printing/inserting always was a looming presence for all of us. For me, it was the severance package plus my age that kept me hostage. Ironically, a year after I retired, the company chose to shut production plant and outsource printing and inserting. I feel for all those guys in their 50's who are trapped feeling as though a sword is hanging over their heads at one of the big three now.

RTs are going for $9k below MSRP! You can get a great deal if you're willing to buy into a dying brand! I'm worried about future support. I believe that is another reason they aren't moving.

How is redlining first gear saving my truck when it was a blown fuse for my heated seats? I have an aftermarket apple car play head unit and it has no control to shut my motor down when anything simple breaks. Absolutely garbage because the first thing I found out was you are unable to plug into OBDII without a dealer licence so you cannot even fix it if you're on vacation 809 miles from home. It's all junk. I then got a 2021 GMC did the exact same thing they replaced three fuse boxes and that was it I was completely done with the new junk trucks!

Now that the chip shortage is over I figured they would lower the price...But they havent. I was at my local Dodge dealer only that they not only have gone back to the old prices but are still trying to charge an extra $1500 for a clay bar that they use on the outside of car for the paint. Ive used claybars before and for 1500 bucks is just their way to get more money back. If Stellaantis or any manufacture wants to sell cars then stop overcharging us. Just look at how much people make. Wouldnt be smart to just lower the prices.

    Great video bro, nice detail information. Yeah sad world with the car market, but if dealerships want to buy our used cars or v8 then everyone should do the same thing dealerships do to us, “ADD A MARK-UP” to your use car. Dealerships want to buy your used car to sell you a EV or eMuscle you don’t want lol, so if you sell your used car “ADD A MARK-UP” 🤣😂 Great video bro 😎 God Bless

    Inaccurate information. They didn't over produce in anticipation of the strike. Production of 24s started only a month before the strike, and thousands of vehicles built that month, were special orders. I ordered mine 90 days before production started, and it was built days before the strike.

    It's interesting you mentioned the extra weight per vehicle on the car haulers. I mean if they load them full of EVs instead of the regular ICE cars, are they going to be overweight at the DOT truck scales ? Are they going to be pushing the weight limits on bridges ? What about the excessive wear and tear on the asphalt ? Are they going to have to refit the trailers to be able to handle the extra weight?

    What a bad correlation saying the oversupply is caused by the 'build up ' in production prior to the strike when you answer it by plainly saying the vehicles are not selling. It doesnt matter how much they produce, if none of them sell then they are oversupplied. Next how can you claim Fords billion dollar loss with the failed Mach-E was the right move when all manufacturers going electric are losing big like Tesla owners. You are implying that if there were more V8's in trucks people would buy more trucks, Ram would sell more and still be in business ---- if only they had carbon credits for them? Also failed at the end with the weight of the electric loads considering I saw two Tesla double decker car haulers with the Tesla Cyber truck that is 7000lbs hanging way past the end of the truck.
